Delta Healthcare manages Cherry Ridge, a 110-bed skilled nursing community located in Bastrop, Louisiana. The facility coordinates care expenses through private pay, Medicare, and Medicaid options. The immediate area relies heavily on vehicles for transportation, meaning families and visitors will need a car to reach the campus and run errands.
The property currently runs at 68 percent occupancy, with residents staying an average of 226 days. This operational setup demonstrates that the 24-hour staff divides their time between continuous long-term care and short-term post-hospital therapy. To monitor daily medical needs, the floor crew logs an average of 3 hours and 37 minutes of total nursing care per resident each day, running a clinical program that covers transitional rehabilitation, temporary respite stays, and podiatry services.
When it comes to daily routines, the kitchen serves three daily meals alongside a complimentary continental breakfast. The physical layout includes professional landscaping, a walking path, a bocce court, a card and craft room, a library, and a lounge featuring a fireplace. A wellness coach oversees the on-site fitness programs, while pastoral care teams handle regular church services.
Families can review the specialized physical therapy programs, memory support structures, and shared residential common spaces. The internal schedule balances these clinical offerings with three daily meals, pastoral care services, group fitness activities, and an on-site hair salon.
